Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Isabelle Richardson, Disabled

Translator: 549690339

Isabelle Richardson slit her wrists.

Upon learning this news, Samuel Richardson’s face darkened.

Just a short time ago, Isabelle had been full of determination, only to end up slitting her wrists.

The outcome was set.

Michael Gallagher would not be joining the Richardson family through marriage.

“Useless! ”

Samuel Richardson cursed under his breath. Slitting her wrists here would only bring bad luck. This daughter of his was a complete failure!

Upon hearing that Isabelle had slit her wrists, Jake Smith had given up on her completely.

She would rather die than marry him!

Samuel Richardson and Jake carried Isabelle to the hospital.

Fortunately, the Richardson family had a family doctor, and thanks to timely emergency treatment, Isabelle’s life was saved.

Samuel Richardson watched as Jake busied himself running errands. Previously, he’d been somewhat concerned about Jake’s family background, but now he didn’t care at all. It was a shame that Isabelle didn’t like him; otherwise, he’d be reluctant to let such a son-in-law slip away.

Suddenly, an idea struck Samuel Richardson.

“Jake, I actually have another daughter out there.”

Thinking of his illegitimate daughter, Samuel Richardson’s idea of marrying her off to Jake grew stronger.

Isabelle had poor judgement, but his other daughter was not only looking than Isabelle but smarter as well.

If his other daughter were to marry into the Smith family, he could even help them out.

Hearing Samuel Richardson’s words, it was apparent to Jake that Samuel wanted him as a son-in-law.

After the incident with Isabelle, Jake had completely given up on her. He had exerted a lot of effort to persuade his family to approve the marriage, and they had agreed to it only on account of Isabelle being the heiress of the

Richardson family. However, she didn’t appreciate it at all.

He never expected Samuel Richardson to have another daughter!

If Isabelle knew of her father’s actions, she would probably be angry enough to slit her wrists again.

Weren’t Isabelle and her family too good for him?

Then he would show her just how deserving he was.

With clear eyes, Jake wore a humble smile on his handsome face: “Since she’s your daughter, Uncle, I’m sure she’s excellent. I’ll follow your arrangements.” Samuel laughed heartily, growing fonder of this polite and humble young man.

It didn’t matter that Isabelle was shortsighted; luckily, he had plenty of daughters. If he let one go, he still had countless others.

In the hospital lobby, Isabelle, with an ashen face and no energy, had been saved.

Perhaps Samuel Richardson was too angry to arrange a hospital room for her, so they’d only bandaged her wounds before moving her to the lobby for an infusion.

Her wrist was wrapped in bandages, with a faint trace of blood seeping through. Anyone could tell at a glance that she had slit her wrists.

This wound reminded her constantly that she had done something foolish.

A wheelchair slowly slid to a stop in front of her.

Isabelle raised her eyes and sneered, “Long time no see, Miss Thompson. 1 heard you’re doing well and have taken over the family project.”

Gillian Thompson had once promised her that she would share a portion of any project she managed with the Richardson family.

But now that she’d been abandoned by the Richardson family, she didn’t care whether they cooperated with the Thompson family or not.

Gillian ignored the sarcasm in her words and lightly glanced at Isabelle’s wrist with a sigh, “Isabelle, you are so foolish.”

Committing suicide was the most extreme and dangerous method. If she succeeded, it would be fine, but if she failed, she could only regret it as a ghost.

Isabelle’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She knew without Gillian telling her that she had indeed made a fool of herself this time.

She moved her wrist slightly, the pain in it sharpening her mind.

“l was indeed impulsive this time.” She paused, her eyes red. “During my rescue, did Michael come to see me?”

After passing out, her cell phone was no longer with her. The Richardson family didn’t send anyone to look after her, nor did they inform her of what had happened later.

All she cared about was whether Michael Gallagher had looked back at her or not.

Hearing her words, Gillian sneered inwardly without showing anything on her face.

She glanced at Isabelle and laughed coldly, “Do you think Michael Gallagher has clairvoyant hearing and telepathic powers? He had no idea you slit your wrists when you were committing suicide. I only learned about your suicide from the news, and I assume that, like me, Michael could only learn about it from the news as well. Unfortunately, when the news was reported, you were already awake.”

Isabelle Richardson’s face instantly turned pale.

Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

She had already slit her wrists, and Michael Gallagher didn’t even know.

By the time everyone else found out, she had already woken up.

So, did she slit her wrists in vain?

Isabelle clenched her lips tightly, almost shedding tears.

Gillian Thompson whispered mysteriously in her ear: “Oh, by the way, I have big news for you.”

Isabelle, shaking her pale lips, said lightly, “Get to the point.”

Experiencing life and death had made everything else seem inconsequential. “l heard that Samuel Richardson still plans to marry into the Smith family.”

Isabelle raised her eyelids as if expecting it, smirking, “He’s already set his sights on Jake Smith, treating him like he did Michael Gallagher, wanting to groom Jake as his son.”

Perhaps Samuel Richardson had done too many evil deeds, causing him to have no sons of his own.

Not having a son was Samuel’s lifelong pain, and in the end, he could only pin his hopes on someone else’s son.

Having experienced this life-and-death situation, she had come to terms with it.

As long as she and Jake worked together, they could potentially expand the family business.

“You see, he still needs me.” Isabelle smirked triumphantly, “Because Jake likes me.’

Jake’s fondness and appreciation for her made him willingly “submit” to Samuel Richardson.

In this way, Samuel had no choice but to continue grooming her.

Realizing this, Isabelle sighed in relief and finally smiled.

Hearing this, Gilian’s face showed a hint of strangeness. “What?” Isabelle glared at her, full of annoyance, “You don’t believe me?” Gillian almost laughed out loud, covering her mouth.

“Whether I believe it or not is not important. What’s important is that the one marrying Jake Smith is not you, but your father’s illegitimate daughter, Emma Smith.’

Isabelle’s face changed dramatically, raising her voice, “What are you talking about! Why on earth would he marry Emma!”

Her voice was loud, and it was in the hospital lobby. Under so many watchful eyes, she could not control her hideous expression.

She had always known that Samuel Richardson had an illegitimate daughter named Emma, who was her half-sister.

“Jake won’t marry her. He likes me.” Isabelle was so angry that her face turned from green to purple, “That bitch wants to be Miss Richardson? She needs my approval. ”

She never imagined that Emma would appear at this time.

Gillian sneered with a smirk, “l heard that Jake hasn’t refused.”

“No way!” Isabelle trembled with anger, “I’m going to ask him; he can’t agree to marry that bitch.”

It was bad enough to be rejected by Michael Gallagher. However, having her own family abandon her and letting that person, Emma, take advantage would be worse than death.

She pulled the IV drip out fiercely and rushed out.

She wanted to confront Jake in person and ask him why he broke his word and wanted to marry that woman.

Gillian didn’t stop her.

Isabelle had done her wrong, and at this point, it served her right to suffer.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Molly Walker had just finished the discharge procedure when Elizabeth Aitken sent her a message: Did you hear? Isabelle Richardson committed suicide.

Isabelle committed suicide?

Then, Elizabeth sent another message: I heard that Jake Smith is going to marry Miss Richardson, but not Isabelle. Instead, he’s going to marry a woman named Emma Smith. Samuel Richardson told reporters that Emma is also his daughter, and she is now being taken home by him.

After fighting with Michael that day, she had been resting and reading books without checking her cell phone. Even Jeremy Norman’s visit was stopped by Damian Thompson.

Had it not been for the need to access information on her cell phone for the discharge procedure, she would not have known so many things had happened outside.

Thinking of Jake marrying Samuel Richardson’s other daughter, Molly couldn’t help but smile.

She never thought Isabelle would have a sister.

Jake had made such a fuss with her, but he ended up marrying her sister. It was a blatant humiliation..
